Our services at Athens

Athens Acropolis car rental

SIXT Athens Acropolis car rental is ideally located in the historic center of the Greek capital city. We have a large fleet with a variety of car categories available to choose from. For instance, pick one of the standard or premium convertible options to enjoy the summer weather of Athens. There are also larger choices such as SUVs and passenger vans, perfect for those traveling in large groups or on a family vacation. If you have kids along, child seats are available to add to your rental for the young visitors. Another popular add-on is for island/ferryboat travel to visit the famous Greek islands.

SIXT's location at Athens Acropolis

SIXT’s Athens Acropolis station is on the corner of Syngrou Avenue and Lempesi. From the Acropolis Metro M1 station just turn right onto Syngrou Avenue and you will see the SIXT branch after 200 meters. The return location for your SIXT car rental is at the same place as the pick-up.

Explore Athens with your car rental

Athens is a city full of historical sites and preserved ancient ruins. Some of the most iconic attractions are the Acropolis Citadel with the Parthenon temple, right by the SIXT branch, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. If you drive your Athens Acropolis car rental out of the city center, you can explore the beautiful coast and beaches like Kalamaki or Glyfada. A great spot to get a panoramic view of the entire city is from Mount Lycabettus, the highest point in central Athens.

It hardly depends on the guy who you are talking to. In my case I have found out that mostly the women are incompetent or very arrogant/unfriendly. But .. If you find a good clerk, as I did, u will find a good, young, highly motivated man like I have found the young Mr. Stamatis, who did just a perfect job, very customer friendly & nice & competent. That is how it should be always. U cannot serve the customers well with arrogance or incompetent answers or answeres which are NOT helpful. U have - how the young Mr. Stamatis did - solve problmes AND FIND SOLUTIIONS, so that the customer feels good with a Company. Mr. Stamatis was outside the Airport - not inside. Thank u very much for a perfect Service & being that nice, helpful & friendly! Btw. I was there in the beginning of September for two weeks.
